In the high desert of Northern New Mexico, you can hear the sounds of a man entranced in his work underground in a cave. You will see a small entry that opens into a cavern, where Ra Paulette has spent the last 25 years carving New Mexico’s sandstone into magnificent art. He’s spent years doing this work with the company of only his dog.

 WHAT IS OBSESSION?
What determines the line between passion and obsession?

Can we call “obsessed” a man who isolated himself from society for 25 years, in the high desert of Northern New Mexico, to play “Minecraft” in real life?

When Ra Paulette was asked if he is obsessed with his work he answered:

It is said that when you find your purpose and devote your life into fulfilling it, you’ll spend your days through play. Nothing else will really matter except crafting through your passion. And if you remember, that’s what being a kid really was like: a constant play, wonder and discovery, being lost in your world.

It can be said that he has created magic in the underground caves that he has carved. They are at once intimate and overwhelming. Interestingly, Ra doesn’t see himself as an artist, but simply as a man expressing his sense of wonder in a passionate way. I would beg to differ with his opinion that he is not an artist. What he has created, is livable art of unbelievable power.

Speaking of creating masterpieces, watch the video below and witness what being obsessed with your passion can create!
